Aerial Survey Estimates of Abundance of the Eastern Chukchi Sea Stock of Beluga Whales ( Delphinapterus leucas ) in 2012
The eastern Chukchi Sea (ECS) stock of beluga whales is one of three stocks in western Alaska that are co-managed by the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Alaska Beluga Whale Committee. Abundance of this stock was estimated as 3710 in 1991 from incomplete data. Analysis of data from satellite-linked time-depth recorders (SDRs) attached to belugas in summer concentration areas of the ECS and Beaufort Sea (BS) stocks provided an overview of…
An Emerging Pattern of Declining Growth Rates in Belugas of the Beaufort Sea
Standardized, hunter-based sampling of harvested beluga whales was initiated in the three main harvesting areas of the Mackenzie River delta (Shallow Bay, Kendall Island, Kugmallit Bay) in 1980 and near Paulatuk, Northwest Territories, in 1989. Standard length and sex of landed whales have been recorded for 90 to 110 belugas per year since 1980, and ages have been determined since 1988. Hunters select larger and older belugas; males outnumbered f…
Trends in the Offshore Distribution and Relative Abundance of Beaufort Sea Belugas, 1982–85 vs 2007–09
We used systematic strip-transect aerial surveys to examine the distribution and relative abundance of surfaced belugas in the offshore Beaufort Sea in late August of 1982, 1984–85, and 2007–09. Belugas were seen throughout the offshore area in both survey series, on 114 of 149 transects (76.5%). They were common over the continental shelf offshore of the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula and within 30 km seaward of the Mackenzie River estuary, but they were…
Ringed Seals and Sea Ice in Canada’s Western Arctic
We examined the relationship between ringed seal body condition and reproduction and spring sea ice conditions in prime ringed seal habitat in Canada’s western Arctic during 1992 – 2011. Since 1970, ice conditions in east Amundsen Gulf and west Prince Albert Sound have shown only a slight trend toward earlier ice clearance (breakup) in spring (3 – 7 days per decade) (p < 0.10) and no trend toward later freeze-up or increased variability in timing…

Evidence for a Decline in Northern Quebec (Nunavik) Belugas
Systematic aerial line-transect surveys of beluga whales, Delphinapterus leucas, were conducted in James Bay, eastern Hudson Bay, and Ungava Bay from 14 August to 3 September 2001. An estimated 7901 (SE= 1744) and 1155 (SE = 507) belugas were present at the surface in the offshore areas of James Bay and Hudson Bay, respectively. An additional 39 animals were observed in estuaries during the coastal survey, resulting in an index estimate of 1194 (…
Movements and Dive Behaviour of Belugas in Northern Quebec
Three adult and three juvenile belugas were fitted with satellite-linked radio tags in eastern Hudson Bay in mid-August 1993, and one adult was tagged in mid-October 1995 in extreme northeastern Hudson Bay. The tags transmitted data on dive behaviour, and the receiving satellite calculated positions by Doppler-shift triangulation. The belugas tagged in summer in eastern Hudson Bay made no directed or long-distance movements while the tags were at…
Estimating Moose Population Parameters from Aerial Surveys, by William C. Gasaway, Stephen D. Dubois, Daniel J. Reed, and Samuel J. Harbo
about generational differences, but stress the differences by gender and region (especially between Baker Lake and Cape Dorset).Moreover, he finds that at Baker Lake the work of both men and women evidences great similarity, whereas at Cape Dorset gender differences are readily apparent.He points out that not all difference in the work of men and women can be accounted for by cultural inter-community differences and suggests that other factors mu…
The Spiral in the Tusk of the Narwhal
The spiral in the tusk of the narwhal has been fancifully, but never satisfactorily, explained. Spiral growths are common in the animal kingdom and share the feature of having straight axes. A curved tusk would hinder the narwhal swimming; a spiral mode of growth ensures overall straightness even if the tusk grows irregularly. The need to keep the tusk straight completely and satisfactorily explains the spiral.Key words: Monodon monoceros, dentit…
A Machine-Readable File of Sea Depths for the Central Canadian Arctic Archipelago
In connection with extensive seal surveys in the central High Arctic in 1980 and 1981, a computer file of depths was built .... Limits of the area covered are: southerly, 71°N in Amundsen Gulf. 73°30'N in M'Clintock Channel, and 73°40'N in Peel Sound; northerly generally 78°10'N; westerly, 120°40'W in Amundsen Gulf, 117°20'W in M'Clure Strait, and 110°W in Hazen Strait; and easterly, 90°40'W in Lancaster Sound, 86°W in Jones Sound, and 88°W in No…
